Hello, if there is anyone left in this vast universe.. It's been quite a while since I last blogged.
I'm doing good. Gained a few pounds though. Started to teach again... life is good, right ?
Now that the Superbowl is over, I decided to join a new gym. One that has television screens in the gym equipment. Pretty cool aye ? No REAL excuse, not ever to exercise again. This place is also open 24/7/365. Again, NO excuse. It has studio classes of all caliber type exercises from Zoomba to Silver Sneakers, 'golden oldies' type exercise classes. Best of all they are FREE, (part of the monthy membership). THAT I LIKE.
So I woke up this morn, joined this new gym, meandered over to those silver sneaker oldie but goodies class. I learned FIVE new types of line dances (these gals worked out for a full 45 minute class. This was after a 45 minute class of the 'sit and be fit' type exercises done from a chair, with some optional being done outside of the chair. Let me tell you, some of the exercises were easy, some I REALLY felt the muscles pull and ache !
I'm back to counting carbs, giving up the number of diet soft drinks, etc. I had a banana for breakfast and a Burger King Chicken Salad for lunch. Might have a taco salad for supper tonite.
Whatever the rhyme or reason, I'm back in the low carb community to whomever is out there and wants to join me on the bandwagon or not. Drop me a line and let me know you are still in the game with me. :)

- 🌾 Welcome to My Low‑Carb Life As of January 2026, I’ve started a new chapter: I recently began the GLP‑1 Wegovy pill to help me get back on track with my weight‑loss goals. Life has thrown its share of challenges my way, and I’ve gained back some of the weight I once worked so hard to lose — so this is my reset moment. My journey began in 2008, when my doctor warned me about rising blood pressure and challenged me to lose ten pounds in three months. I ended up losing 26. By 2011, life had shifted again, and I recommitted to the low‑carb lifestyle that helped me feel strong and steady. And today, I’m still committed — just with new tools, new wisdom, and a whole lot more grace for myself. I live just outside New Orleans, deep in sweet Cajun Country, where we hunt, fish, “make groceries,” and enjoy the simple things. I exercise three times a week and practice relaxing on the off days. My immediate goal is to lose 15 pounds, and I’m focused on moving forward with intention and consistency. So pull up a chair and stay a spell — this blog follows my low‑carb journey, my Southern roots, and now, my Wegovy pill adventure.
